what happened to captain sun?

i thought zfs was kind of neat though, seriously. not that i ever used it, only read about it. sort of like dtrace.

Hmmm.

Neat concept, but I'm more of a Veritas fanboy in that space.

I suppose for me I'm just used to using it and used to interpreting the stats it gives.

I really doubt it has many features LVM doesn't by now. It certainly isn't cheap!!!

It also lets you deport disks, which SVM doesn't. Which sucks.

Anyone on here pimpin Django? It really seems Python is where the biggies (Google's app engine) are heading. I like how it has what I love about Ruby without the stress/bullshit of deploying a Rails application.

I'm thinking I'll have to devote some time to it.

Spent the last month or so writing modules for an XML Socket app in Python, needless to say it was easy, versatile (especially with the DB, OS, TCP objects), and could pull off what was almost an impossible task in anything else. A good introduction to say the least.

Haven't messed/had need for Django just yet, but I'm weighing up some options coming into the build of Nice v2.

python's good for those who can't get their heads around perl.

haha, perl is like just one massive regular expression. I had the pleasure of writing a script with it the other day for massive file uploads over http (catches the binary data in chunks, stores in a temp location and then adds it all back together when the upload is done).

that was enough for me!

django is truly awesome. do yourself a favour, check it out!

and yeah, i still write perl when i have to bash up 20-line-or-so scripts that just munge text. it's the undisupted king of text-munging (sorry awk). but python won my heart.

apophenian · Post by **apophenian** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:37 am

Yeah I really like python too - actually worked on a project that used python for the gui component of a document management system. Sounds like a strange decision but was really good! Things that take many lines in java are pretty simple to implement in python.

Also want to play around a bit with Google App server, maybe using Django. I see yahoo has also released this

G'day. First time caller long time listener.

About to go for a job interview as a C++/Java Developer for a company using custom a financial markets trading system. What kind of $$$ would you be asking/comfortable with given a recent Comp Sci degree and 12months non-code monkey engineering experience.

Interview is in 90mins so asap feedback would be lovely.

Adios.

6.3. Running On Mac OS X

On Mac OS X, navigate to the MySQL GUI Tools installation directory and double-click on the application you wish to start.
Note

Note: There is no Mac OS X version of MySQL Migration Toolkit.

MySQL fail.

is it possible to create a professional page using software?

My mother has started her own business consulting company and basically said "Luke, you know a thing or two about computers, make my web page."

Is this even possible?

I'm pretty nifty using all software applications, I have a knack for picking them up quickly - therefore is it possible to create my mums website?

If so, which software prog should I use?

If not, which one of you lovely people want to create my mum's website - please PM me with some mates-rates

Thanks and kind regards

Luke

Argh... I've been in this situation before. My advice is to try and nail down EXACTLY what she wants before you even start (all pages + content typed up, plus sketches on paper of what it should look like, descriptions of any special functionality etc.) If she basically just wants a web-based business card/information leaflet it'll be pretty simple, although you'd have to question the value of it - if she's looking to drum up business she'd probably be better just registering with yellow pages etc. If she wanted to do something that she could update regularly, I'd back the hell away.

apophenian · Post by **apophenian** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 5:14 pm

I agree with a1studmuffin about getting your requirements nailed down as tightly as possible, otherwise you could keep going back and forth forever!

Mind you, if she DOES want something she can update regularly, I have found a cms like silverstripe http://www.silverstripe.com/ fairly easy to set up and get running.

NOTE: For the non programmers, some exegesis may be necessary: when a programmer starts to learn a new language, a typical first exercise is to program the computer to display the message "Hello World".
---------------

A compilation of *Hello World programs* designed by

various categories of *developer* follows.

High School/Jr.High
===================
10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 END

First year in College
=====================
program Hello(input, output)
begin
writeln('Hello World')
end.

Senior year in College
======================
(defun hello
(print
(cons 'Hello (list 'World))))

New professional
================
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
char *message[] = {"Hello ", "World"};
int i;
for(i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
printf("%s", message);
printf("\n");
}

Seasoned professional
=====================
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
class string
{
private:
int size;
char *ptr;
public:
string() : size(0), ptr(new char('\0')) {}
string(const string &s) : size(s.size)
{
ptr = new char[size + 1];
strcpy(ptr, s.ptr);
}
~string()
{
delete [] ptr;
}
friend ostream &operator <<(ostream &, const string &);
string &operator=(const char *);
};
ostream &operator<<(ostream &stream, const string &s)
{
return(stream << s.ptr);
}
string &string:perator=(const char *chrs)
{
if (this != &chrs)
{
delete [] ptr;
size = strlen(chrs);
ptr = new char[size + 1];
strcpy(ptr, chrs);
}
return(*this);
}
int main()
{
string str;
str = "Hello World";
cout << str << endl;
return(0);
}
